Brooklyn DA Pulls the Plug on Crypto Scam Network

112 servers and 241 fake sites knocked offline in one of the largest cyber takedowns ever by a local prosecutor. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office has dismantled the online backbone of a multinational cryptocurrency scam that drained tens of millions of dollars from Russian-speaking victims across the U.S. Working with the FBI, investigators executed search warrants across three time zones in a matter of hours and seized or disrupted 241 scam domains and more than 100 cloud servers hosted by Eastern European and American companies.
